About This Wine


PrimaZona

Cabernet Sauvignon

While Malbec is widely considered the golden child of Argentinian wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is undeniably the dark horse. Our PrimaZona Cabernet Sauvignon showcases this French variety’s soaring success in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. This wine displays a balanced structure with savory aromas and rich dark fruit flavors. In these elevated vineyards, days are dry and hot. Steep temperatures are mitigated by cool evening winds from the Andes Mountains, creating a significant contrast between daytime and nighttime temperatures. This allows our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to develop ripe, fruit-focused characteristics while maintaining the distinct structure shaped by Mendoza’s unique climate. Those familiar with Cabernet can expect the fruit-focused nature of Californian styles, with the firmer mouthfeel akin to Bordeaux. Serve this wine at room temperature alongside hearty dinners enjoyed with family and friends. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

  • A figure representing the Cedar tasting note. Cedar

This wine has a nuanced and intriguing flavor profile. The nose is driven by oak and age, presenting cedar and earth aromas. A full palate offers subtle tingles of acidity but remains notably balanced and structured. Stewed blackberry flavors are dense and lead to a dusty tannic finish.
